Question about English (US)

Does my answer to the question below sound natural?

“Technology has improved our daily life, but it also bears drawback”
To what degree you agree this?

I totally agree with that. It does give us quite a few advantages in our lives; on other hand, it’s undeniable that there are some downsides as well.

In terms of structure and sounding natural, your answer is excellent. I'm especially impressed at your correct use of a semicolon.

The question is not written very well, however.

@Natitan Thank you for saying that :) I got this question from one of my Taiwanese friends. I wonder how native speakers would write the question.

@Keqing I would write it like this:

""Technology has improved our daily lives, but it has also come with many drawbacks". To what degree do you agree with this statement?"
